The CSS examination, known for its rigorous and competitive nature, remains one of Pakistan’s toughest academic challenges.
Each year, thousands of aspirants hope to secure prestigious civil service positions, but only a small fraction succeed.
This year’s outcome highlights once again the intense competition and high standards required to clear the examination.
Analysts suggest that the low pass percentage reflects the need for stronger preparation strategies among candidates and possibly a review of the broader educational framework.
